Chapter five hundred and thirty-eight deep into the mine
There was dust in the mine.
Walking among the mines, all the people could see were those miners who were naked and sweating profusely. They waved their tools hard. There were jingling sounds everywhere, and the loud shouts from the foreman from time to time echoed in the mines and the flying dust. This was indeed not a good tourist destination. Not to mention that they were very backward in the sanitary conditions of this era. These miners worked in the mines for twenty-four hours a day, so naturally they had no time to go out. They simply made a small hole in the vent for comfort. This also made the odor of the nose emitting everywhere, which combined the sweat and dust of the miners' bodies. It can be said that this was simply hell.
Even Emily frowned when she walked into the mine, and reached out to cover her nose. Even her father, President Edward, coughed lightly at this moment, then reached out to take out a handkerchief from her arms and put it on her mouth. To some extent, perhaps this is the reason why he was unwilling to enter the mine.
On the contrary, Rhode and Celia were still expressionless. After all, they had endured the more disgusting smell on the battlefield. The current stench did not change his expression except that Rhode frowned slightly. As for Celia, she followed Rhode quietly and silently. The expressions of the master and slaves not only surprised Edward, but also made Emily admire the "Miss Sailun". The other party looked even more "weaker" than him, but in this occasion, compared with this "Miss Sailun", she was more like a spoiled lady - which also made Emily a little embarrassed.
"Master, Miss, please be careful with your feet. It's not easy to leave here."
Of course, in addition to them, one of the foremen in the mine also joined the team of everyone, responsible for leading the way and explaining the specific situation of the mine to everyone. Compared to those sweating and naked miners, this figure is majestic and tall. Almost two meters tall is so well-dressed that he is neatly dressed. If it weren't for his already gray coat that looked a little sloppy, this man would still give people a very spiritual feeling. At this moment, he was leading Rhodes and others all the way into the depths of the silver mine, and introducing them endlessly.
"We have been working here for many years. To be honest, this mine is the best gift given to us by the Holy Soul. At present, we can probably produce it every day..."
While listening to the foreman's self-promotion, Rhode carefully observed the tunnel in front of him. At the same time, he made a comparison with his memory. At this moment, his thoughts were immersed in what President Edward said before. I have to say that before coming here, Rhode always believed that this copy should not be opened. So his purpose here was not to destroy the boss, but to open the copy.
But judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility that someone has opened the dungeon in front of him, or at least half of that person is opening it, which is the only possibility that Rhodes can think of at present. After all, he is very familiar with Fiat. Here, there is nothing except the copy of the earth element creature. There is neither a dark channel connecting the underground world, nor a weird portal that seals the demons and monsters. If there is no earth element creature, then this is just an ordinary mine. So if there is any abnormal situation here, then considering it, the earth element creature is very likely to be alarmed.
But generally speaking, no one provoked the earth element creature. In the game, even the two families did not know the existence of the earth element creature. They broke the seal by chance. Only then did the unlucky monster come out, and everyone was in trouble.
Although according to normal ideas, Rhodes did not believe that something would go wrong. However, after experiencing the transformation of the necromancer into a lich in the ruins, Rhodes discovered that not everything was unchanged. They would also change with changes in the environment and choices. If he hadn't taken Qi Lian into the ruins, the two angels would probably not have a good end. And the unhominister would not have turned the war angel that should have been transformed into the undead and turned the life box of his own transformed lich by being careful of himself.
And now?
Although Edward did not say it, Rhode knew very well that the mine was separated from left and right, the Edward family was responsible for developing it on the right, and the Howard's territory on the left. The two sides continued to dig deeper, and sooner or later they would meet together. The reason why the earth element creature was awakened before was because the two chambers of commerce fought and ended up digging through its barrier. However, that was in general, in the game, the reformists did not declare war on the royal family. So the strength of Edward and Howard families
It is still fair. But now it is different. In this world, the reformists declare war on the royal family. The Howard Chamber of Commerce, who is in the south, is naturally extremely embarrassed. In addition, the Edward Chamber of Commerce is not a fool, so I seized this opportunity to attack its opponent. When I arrived at Fiat, Rhodes saw that the door of the Howard Chamber of Commerce was deserted and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. From this point, it can be seen that they must have been under a lot of pressure. But will the Howard Chamber of Commerce give up like this?
The rabbit will bite people even if it is anxious.
"I would like to ask, before entering here, I heard that there has been some commotion here recently? I want to know, what exactly is going on?"
Thinking of this, Rhode came to his senses, and then he quickly interrupted the other party's endless speech and asked.
When he heard the question of "Miss Sailun", the foreman froze. He first glanced at President Edward next to him and showed a hint of inquiry. Edward shook his head helplessly, then nodded. Then the foreman turned around and said to Rhode with an awkward smile.
"Actually it's not a big deal. This lady... It's just that everyone has heard some strange sounds from the depths of the mine these days, which made those guys a little uneasy... Hey. How big can it be? What I want to say is just ordinary news. It's just a loss for those guys to be so brave. They are all big and thick men. It's so embarrassing to be so scared of such a small thing..."
"I don't think so."
Rhode raised his brow when he heard the foreman's answer.
"If it was really just like this, I don't think it would cause panic among these miners at all, right? Sir? As you said just now, these miners have worked here for many years. They can't be scared like this because of the wind, otherwise... I really doubt whether the silver mining of your Edward Chamber of Commerce has made progress over the years."
"Well……………"
Hearing Rhode's inquiry, the foreman's expression became much stiffer again, and Edward saw that something was wrong, so he hurried out to smooth things over.
"It's like that, Miss Sailun, as you said, if it's just this kind of news, the workers wouldn't worry at all. But... I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Something strange happened recently. That's why these guys are so panicked. This..."
"In other words, the situation in your chamber of commerce has not been very good recently?"
Rhode smiled slightly and looked at Edward. When he saw his smile, Edward couldn't help but sweat. He had thought it was good to talk about business with such a beautiful woman. He was not stupid and smart, and beautiful, and it was pleasing to the eye. But now after seeing Rhode's smile, Edward was a little panicked for no reason. Of course, he understood the meaning behind the other party's words. From the beginning, Rhode came in with a flag to see if the silver mine was running normally, but now it seems that everything is going well, but if it continues, it's hard to say. After all, Howard's bastards...
"This is not, Miss Sailun, but…………….”
“—————!!”
Just as Edward was about to open his mouth and say something again, suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the mine. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely clear when echoing in the mine. When everyone heard this sound, they were stunned for a moment, and then immediately changed their expression and looked forward.
"Shit, what happened? What's the sound?"
Edward frowned and looked at the foreman in front of him with a hint of worry. Because of the reasons mentioned before, the president of the chamber of commerce rarely went to the mine. Although he heard from the people below that the strange things that had happened in the mine in recent days, Edward actually did not take it much. But when he heard the low roar just now, Edward finally felt something was wrong. It was not the sound of wind, but the roar of some kind of beast!
But this is a mine cave, not a forest, where did the beast come from?
“————!!”
Just when everyone was shocked and puzzled, another roar came, and this time everyone could feel that the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer to them. Before Edward had time to react and said something, suddenly several screams burst out not far ahead of them.
"What, what's wrong?"
Hearing this voice, Emily began to get nervous. She shrank her body uneasyly and carefully poked her head out to look forward. Under the light of the fire, the deep mine tunnel was extremely dark. At this moment, the private soldiers brought by Edward had already quickly walked forward, pulled out the weapons from her waist, and protected their employers and guests behind her. Edward turned around and looked at Rhode with a wry smile on his face.
"Miss Sailun, you have also seen this..... The situation at the moment doesn't seem to be very good. I think we should leave here first. If you have any questions, you think......"
"Wow, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Before Edward finished speaking, a scream suddenly erupted again. Then several bloody miners rushed over from the other side of the mine. They looked pale and panicked, and waved their hands hard, and ran towards everyone desperately. Seeing these miners, Emily screamed in fear, and the private soldiers hurried forward to block the miners' way.
"What are you doing? What happened?"
Seeing the miners in front of him, the foreman hurriedly walked forward and shouted and asked. But the miners seemed to have no concern about the shaking swords beside them. They just turned their heads and looked at the dark tunnel in horror. Then they turned around, their faces pale and trembling all over.
"Monster, sir, there are monsters! Very terrible monsters!!"
"monster?"
Hearing this sentence, Edward finally couldn't help it. He hurriedly walked forward and asked.
"What monster? What exactly did you encounter?"
Just as Edward asked the miners, Rhode suddenly raised his brow, and then he quickly passed the back. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and quickly drew a long sword from a private soldier beside him. Then Rhode took a step forward and pulled Emily away from the wall of the tunnel, and then swung the long sword in his right hand with force!
Almost as Emily was pulled away by Rod, the wall of the tunnel that should have been extremely hard suddenly appeared beside her, which was like the waves of water. Then, a huge black bug suddenly shot out from it. It opened its disgusting and complicated mouthparts, making a hissing scream and pounced towards Emily. Emily did not expect such a monster to suddenly pop up beside her, and she couldn't help but scream in fear. At this moment, Rod pulled her away, and then the long sword in his hand pierced into the monster's wide open mouth.
The dazzling soul light suddenly burst out, accompanied by the fierce sword energy, and the monster was instantly bombarded heavily. Then soon, its thick body, which was more than two meters long, began to scatter, and cracks appeared on its body, but no blood oozed out of it. On the contrary, the monster completely fell apart, and then turned into a pile of dust and disappeared into the air.
"This, this is……………”
Edward and Emily opened their eyes wide in surprise and looked at Rhode in disbelief. They never thought that this young lady, who looked so weak on the surface, had such an excellent swordsmanship! The holy soul is on top, that is the power of soul. This young lady is only in her early twenties, but she can have such power... Could it be that there are all such people in the Kingdom of Light?
In Emily's eyes, she naturally felt a little more admiration for "Miss Sailun". Her eyes shone at Rhode in front of her, and even forgot that she almost suffered an unexpected accident just now. At this moment, in Emily's eyes, the image of this "Miss Sailun" is so tall that she not only has outstanding wisdom and mind, but also has an extremely powerful swordsmanship. Ah... I really didn't expect to meet such a person. If she could have such power like her, then traveling to mainland business would be no longer a dream for her.
"This, what is this?"
Compared to Emily, Edward was obviously more concerned about the monster that had just appeared in front of him, but when he heard his inquiry, Rhode shook his head without answering.
"This seems to be a type of elemental creature, but I don't know what it is."
This is certainly a lie. At this moment, Rhodes was completely sure that this was the creature created by the earth element elves, but... why did it appear here? What was going on?
"Monster, monster!!"
But the miners obviously couldn't care about so much. When they saw the monster disappear, they screamed, then pushed away the private soldiers beside them, and ran outside without looking back.
"Don't run, be careful.........!!"
Before the foreman could finish his words, he suddenly saw ripples appearing on both sides of the tunnel behind them. Then, two or three strange insects rushed out from them. They almost passed by the miners who were escaping their lives frantically, but these three monsters did not mean to chase the deserters. On the contrary, they just turned their heads and looked at the miners who turned around again, making hissing sounds, looking at the enemies in front of them. At the same time, four or five of the same monsters appeared on the other side of the tunnel. They were roaring and slowly surrounding Rhodes and others. At this moment, for Rhodes and others, they had become turtles in the jar and had no place to escape.
The situation is wrong!
Seeing the movements of these earth elemental monsters in front of him, Rhode's eyes suddenly narrowed. Although pure elemental creatures are life, they can also be said to be not life. No matter which world they are in, pure elemental creatures have no good feelings for humans. Once humans enter their territory, they will be slaughtered one-sidedly. They will not let any humans go. Moreover, these elemental creatures are extremely violent and extremely difficult to deal with. This is why the mines in the Fiat area were completely closed after the awakening of the earth elemental elves. But now, these elemental creatures have let go of the miners and focused their attention on themselves? Judging from their actions, this is not in line with the usual chaos and straightforward fighting methods of elemental creatures. Could it be...
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but glance at the trembling and pale president Edward Chamber of Commerce not far away. At this moment, the man was so scared that he was almost paralyzed on the ground.
Could it be that these earth element creatures are manipulated?
